Witty Naruto Life

Chapter 196 Naruto's Spring and Autumn Writing Style

On the other side, in a dark house somewhere.

The surrounding walls were covered with scratches, and scattered ninja tools and bloodstains were scattered around, showing the fierceness of the battle that had just taken place.

Several bloody corpses lay quietly on the floor, most of them wearing masks, while a few had their bloody faces exposed.

One of them was foaming at the mouth and had fatal wounds all over his body. He was surrounded by several masked black shadows.

"Captain...what should we do next?"

A young female voice came from the mask. She had long purple hair and a few faint wounds on her body - Mao Yue Yugao.

Next to her, there was another petite woman, her eyes staring at the corpse on the ground, her face expressionless - Mitarashi Anko.

Bai Yi looked at the corpses, thought for a moment, and asked Hongdou to contact Naruto immediately.

"You actually know that I have contact information?" Hongdou's eyelids twitched, and then she saw the eyes behind the white mask. She coughed and found a corner to activate the contact snake.

That look seemed to say: I know all the information about Naruto.

After a few minutes, Hongdou came over with a serious expression. "He asked you to dispose of the body immediately and destroy all traces of the surrounding area. He will take care of the rest."

The meaning is very clear. Bai Yi needs to destroy all traces of these corpses in this world.

As for the reason, it is probably because they are worried about causing unnecessary controversy.

Secret arrest and direct execution are two completely different concepts. Generally speaking, unless the Hokage himself gives the order and has solid evidence, any action against Konoha's own people will inevitably cause controversy.

What's more, it comes at this sensitive and critical period.

Bai Yi didn't hesitate at all and immediately gave the order: "Do it."

However, the people around, including Uzuki Yugao and Mitarashi Anko, did not take action directly and were somewhat hesitant in their actions.

Xiyan pondered for a moment, then asked Hongdou beside her uncertainly: "...Are you sure he said that?"

"Absolutely true. If you don't believe me, you can use my contact information to confirm it again."

The people around were silent. Then another man spoke up, "But Lord Naruto doesn't have such authority. If we do so, will it be..."

"Don't think too much. It was Lord Naruto's idea to let us liquidate the Danzo faction tonight." Bai Yi immediately retorted, trying to consolidate his voice.

"But this operation has at least obtained the approval of the Hokage. Why don't we..." The man looked at the Hokage Building in the distance, meaning to report to the Hokage first.

Bai Yi thought about it and shook his head to deny the idea.

Firstly, Naruto didn't mean that; secondly, reporting it rashly might cause people who were not in the know to make unfounded assumptions.

"Captain...?" The man's tone was obviously unwilling, but the next moment, he felt a vague sense of oppression coming from all around. It was obvious that the man in white was putting physical pressure on him to make him shut up.

The man stopped talking immediately. He knew very well that he was no match for the person in front of him.

The man in white looked around at everyone and said slowly, "Everyone, remember, we are not responsible for what to do next. Don't ask similar questions again."

"Even if the sky falls, there will be someone tall enough to hold it up."

There was silence all around, and then Hongdou took the lead and said, "I understand." and started cleaning up the surrounding environment.

The rest of the people followed suit without saying a word, while Bai Yi began to deal with the bodies himself.

He first piled them together, then signaled everyone to disperse and deal with the traces of battle around them, while he sealed the corpses in the scroll like objects.

Afterwards, he will go to a place known only to him to cremate the body and bury the ashes.

"If there is a mistake in this kind of mission, we need to bypass the procedures and deal with the problem in a more covert way," Bai Yi explained to the people around him while doing it.

"This is the necessary darkness that must be experienced before the dawn. Otherwise, Konoha will only become more turbulent."

Everyone seemed to be lost in thought, occasionally glancing at each other without speaking. The only sounds that could be heard were the sounds of arranging furniture and cleaning.

The accident was caused by an operational error by the white-clad subordinates, which caused the secret arrest situation to get out of control and escalate into a life-and-death fight.

At this time, Bai Yi did not hold them accountable. The most important thing now was to calm the situation quickly and not let Konoha fall further out of control.

Just like that, with the thunderous action of Naruto's faction, this stage of the liquidation operation came to an end.

The script that Naruto originally designed for the Danzo faction also underwent major changes as a result, and the Danzo faction also made a completely different response.

At the beginning, Naruto envisioned the following scenario:

The Danzo faction coveted the funds of the Uchiha clan → Sasuke secretly returned to the village and signed the documents → The Danzo faction was in chaos and decided to take a risky move to steal the documents → Naruto discovered the clues and arrested the core members of the Danzo faction on the grounds of breaking the law and completing the liquidation.

In order to lead the Danzo faction into the trap, he first had to control Yusuke Aburame, then have him leak information about Sasuke to the Danzo faction and guide them to the location of the file.

If they don't take the bait, let Yusuke steal the documents. Naruto can still settle accounts after collecting evidence and then bail Yusuke out.

But now the script has changed.

New scenario: Danzo's faction suspected Yusuke of treason and tried to kill him → Naruto discovered the clues and arrested the core members of Danzo's faction on the pretext of murder.

But objectively, this incident caused a brief period of unrest within Konoha, and the superficial peace was affected. ...

the next day.

Hokage building, conference room.

Tsunade, the Hokage's advisor, and Naruto and his group each sat at a long table, and the atmosphere was a little depressing.

There was an open letter in front of Utane Koharu and Mitokado En, held in Koharu's hand. She only glanced at it for a few seconds and then passed the letter around for everyone to see.

"Everyone, the unrest in Konoha recently has attracted the attention of Sunagakure. They sent this letter specifically to inquire about our situation."

Konoha and Sunagakure have carried out in-depth cooperation in psychotherapy, so in recent years, Sunagakure ninjas have come to Konoha from time to time, which has increased population mobility.

Objectively, both parties are under the other's eyes.

"Fortunately, no ninjas from other countries discovered anything. Sand Village is also our ally, so this incident did not lead to the escalation of the problem..." Mitomon En added.

"But this doesn't mean that you can just feel at ease. Please explain what happened last night." Yan looked at Tsunade and Naruto.

The two paused, and Naruto spoke first: "Let me talk about this matter."

As he spoke, he glanced at the recorder next to him.

In fact, everyone knows what happened, but now to put the final conclusion to this matter from an official perspective is completely different in nature.

"Last night, an internal conflict occurred in the Konoha Anbu, which resulted in the life of one of the Konoha ninjas, Yusuke Aburame, being threatened."

"Afterwards, the high-ranking Anbu leaders assembled to arrest a group of destabilizing elements to prevent the peace of Konoha from being threatened."

"Thankfully, the mission was completed in a timely manner, Konoha's unity was not further damaged, the villagers lived in peace, and there were no civilian casualties."

Objectively speaking, every word Naruto said was true, but the lack of civilian casualties did not mean that there were no ninja casualties.

Koharu also glanced at the recorder and asked, "So what role did you, Uzumaki Naruto, play in this?"

"Me?" Naruto said calmly:

"Yusuke Aburame was one of the first students to participate in the demonstration class, and he is considered my student. I learned from him that he might be involved in the internal strife of the Anbu, so I paid him a visit last night. I didn't expect that his good home had become a ruin."

Koharu narrowed her eyes and didn't ask any further questions immediately, but it was obvious that she didn't agree with what Naruto said.

The main reason is that Naruto seemed to have completely excluded himself from his words and deeds. In the words of Earth, this is called the Spring and Autumn style of writing, a history book of time.

Koharu looked at Tsunade again, "What about you? Do you agree with what Naruto said?"

Tsunade turned to Koharu with a complicated expression, while Naruto beside her slowly tensed up.

He had not yet reached a complete consensus with Tsunade. After hearing that a member of the Anbu had died, Tsunade's first reaction was to report it truthfully and expose the true face of the Danzo faction.

But Naruto disagreed. He suggested not to use the term "Danzo faction" easily and not to complicate things in the meeting.

This put Tsunade in a dilemma.

Then, under everyone's gaze, Tsunade slowly spoke: "I basically agree."

"'Basically agree', huh? Did you write that down?"

"It's recorded."

Huh... Naruto breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Tsunade was generally on his side, but in the original work, she seemed to always make decisions that were beneficial to Naruto.

"Hmm..." Xiaochun didn't comment and looked at Naruto again: "Did any Anbu members suffer casualties in this incident?"

This question was crucial, and Naruto answered it neither humbly nor arrogantly: "I am not an Anbu member, so I don't know the outcome of this matter."

"Then do you know?" Xiaochun looked at Bai Yi and Xiaoying. One of them was a high-ranking Anbu member, and the other was a former Anbu member. They also appeared at Yusuke's house last night.

Bai Yi glanced at Naruto. He had already communicated with Naruto after what happened last night. He slowly said to Xiaochun: "The Anbu members are fighting among themselves, and bloodshed is inevitable."

"So, there were casualties, right?"

"That's natural." After saying this, the man in white rolled up his sleeves and showed his bruises to everyone.

He was also slightly injured in yesterday's battle.

But the next moment, Mitomon En suddenly asked: "Some Anbu members died because of this, right?"

Mitomon En discovered that Bai Yi's answer was ambiguous. His choice of words, coupled with the fact that he was showing his injuries, gave the impression that everyone had suffered minor injuries.

But what they really want to ask is whether anyone was killed in the process.

But Bai Yi did not answer this question directly, so Yan asked again.

It's not that they are deliberately making things difficult, but because it concerns the unity of Konoha, they have to be very particular about the words.

Bai Yi glanced at Naruto, then at Sakura, and after confirming that their expressions showed no extra emotions, he spoke clearly:
"some."
